Test 3 Flashcards
(37 cards)
master and johnson monitoring equipment
Penile strain gauge
Penile plethysmograph
Vaginal Plethysmograph
Problem with masters and johnson sample
educated, few young people, high performers (orgasm easily)
Sample for masters and johnson
volunteer, former patients, or referred from other doctors
Sexual response cycle
- Excitement 2. Plateau 3. Orgasm 4. Resolution
Vasocongestion
Swelling of tissues with blood
Myotonia
muscle tension, leads to orgasm
Resolution vs refractory period
teens refractory period very short, resolution longer.Refractory period increase as M ages
Kaplan’s view
Psychosexual view
1. Desire
2. Excitement
3. Orgasm
Basson’s view
Intimacy model
Women use sex to feel closer to their partner, to feel loved
cognitive/affective factors important
treatment implications
Problems with arousal
Progression to intercourse too rapid for most women
1/2 of W wants foreplay to last up to 1/2 hours, and 15% want for a full hour. Actual 5-15 minutes
Sex uncomfortable or no orgasm for W
Vaginal vs clitoral orgasm
Freud-vaginal orgasm superior, more complex
Masters and johnson - no physical differences except intensity
G-spot
found in 10% of women, not clearly identified area
multiple orgasms
series of orgasms during a short period of time
According to M&J, most if not all women can have this
Men multiple orgasms
Possible if men can dry orgasm
Problems in testing women for multiple orgasms
difficult to tell if back to excitement phase
most W happy to have one
Preferred movements during orgasm
W: increased movement(more rapid, deeper)
M: 1-2 pelvic thrusts followed by deep push and freeze
Difference between M and W orgasms
Physiological difference: W last longer
Subjective is the same
Development of fetuses
2-6 weeks: primitive, undifferentiated gonads, ducts and external genitals
2 sets of primitive duct structures: Mullerian (W) and Wolffian (M)
7th week: gender starts to develop, if fetus has Y chromosome, testes develop
10 weeks: female gonads start to develop
Lack of androgens
fetus develops into female
Role of testosterone in fetus development
causes wolffian ducts to transform into epididymis, vas deferens and seminial vesicle
MISC
Mullerian inhibiting sbstance
Prevents development of Mullerian ducts
Dihydrotestosterone
develops external genitals
Internal homologous structures
Testes = ovaries
prostate gland = skene’s glands
cowper’s gland = Bartholin glands
External homologous structures
glans penis = clitoral glans
shaft of the penis = shaft of the clitoris
foreskin = clitoral hood
scrotum = major lip
